RMMV Making a child sprite not inherit X, Y position of parent?

[sleepy_sealion]

I've been playing with actors creating bitmaps and wanted the child to use the X,Y origin of the screen rather than the X,Y origin being the parent - and possibly ignore the parent's movement on screen?

Is it possible to make a child bitmap/object/etc. not inherit certain things from it's parent?

In theory you could manually adjust the child's position every frame based on the parent.

In practice, you should just assign the child to a more appropriate parent, e.g. the spriteset.
